That's pretty smug but I agree with your statement....
Anyone know what kind of guitar strap Frank uses? What about the diameter of his shoe laces?
Sometimes it just doesn't matter... refer to the post about the sunglasses and the reflections... jeeeshh

| Yeah, I'm with you Floop. I admit that I personally am not interested in writing on such a topic, but I'm also not interested in writing in the henhouse and the way I cope with that is pretty ingenious: I don't write in the henhouse. Not saying there's anything wrong with the henhouse, it just doesn't tickle my pickle... errr... turn my crank... um... rattle my rocket... oh... well, that's it. See, that was my most henhouse-eque post to date. Now, someone was talking about the great depression? It all started when the kaiser <fade out slowly> |

I concur with Stuart. It is actually a pretty interesting excercise. Like we can imagine a typical day of ScarlaO's and all (not to open a floodgate); We just have to realize that we have no REAL idea.
As I imagine it, FB's typical day involves listening, playing, recording, selling, and preparing music. I am sure he does ordinary things (it takes effort to be so wise - reading books and traveling; and to have such short hair - cutting and pruning). However, I don't like to imagine anything ordinary about the man. So, really I just pretend he spends his existence in a bubble of music appreciation and production. |

I'm pretty sure this is right:
FB awakes every morning and spend the first 2 hours of every day responding to the prayers of those who worship him. He then takes a bath in Perrier and snorts his first line of coke. Next up is brunch. Never breakfast, always brunch. Usually a belgian waffle with all of the trimmings, 2 suasage links, fresh squeezed orange juice without a hint of pulp. You hear me, NO PULP. Then he writes a song. Next up are the 3 S's, shit, shower and shave. After toweling off and slipping into a heavy crushed velour robe, he sits down and writes his second song of the day. Obviously the last thing to do before lunch is to walk down to the basement and record the 2 songs he has written with the Catholics, who have been waiting and practicing downstairs since dawn. Lunch is served on the Veranda, overlooking the garden and begins with 2 lines of coke and a lude to take the edge off. Lunch itself is always the same, a Dagwood sandwich, kettle fried potato chips, dill spear, and garnish. Usually an imported beer is the drink of choice, followed by a shot of whiskey. FB never has dessert until he has written his 3rd song of the day. Dessert is always 3 cookies and a highball glass (better for dunking) full of milk. The cookies are either Chocolate Chip (black letter days) or Marshmallow pinwheels (Red Letter days). After the cookies, FB spends another hour answering the prayers that those who worship him said that morning. Generally this is light stuff, you know, "Frank, please let me make this stoplight!". Or "for the love of Frank, don't let me burn this toast". After answering prayers, time for FB to write his 4th song of the day and consume 2 more lines of coke. The 4th song is special because it must contain an anagram or some type of wordplay. This can consume some time, which irks the Catholics who are still in the basement rehearsing. After FB finishes the song he rejoins the boys downstairs and records the 2 songs he wrote since he last saw them. Frank then feeds the Catholics and allows them to split a single line of coke among them. Then he feeds his dogs and gives them one line of coke each. Next on the agenda is FB's workout regimen. He dresses the same for every workout: Bike shorts, muscle shirt, deck shoes with no socks. The workout is spent on a virtual treadmill where FB chooses from different environments to walk in, forest path, beach, sidewalk shitty sidewalk, red skies on Mars, etc,. FB puts on his headphones, checks his fannypack and walks for the next hour. The last thing to do before dinner arrives is write song #5. Dinner is a formal affair with FB sitting on 1 end of 30 seat table and his wife at the other end. FB's manservant presents the 8-10 course meal in a crisp manner lest FB explode at him and chase him around the table. Before dessert (fresh strawberry's in melted chocalate) is served, you guessed it, write another song. Then it is back to the basement where the Catholics have mastered all 4 songs from the previous sessions. First thing FB does, is re-write the first 4 songs. Next the band rehearses and records the new songs. At this point, FB releases the Catholics until dawn tomorrow. More often then not, when the doors of the basement fly open, the Catholics just stare at the open door, then retreat back into the darker areas of the basement. Back upstairs for FB for a massage followed by a steam. At this point only 6 things stand between FB and bedtime: manicure, pedicure, 2 lines of coke, answer afternoon prayers of those who worship him and write another song. The final song of the day is always an instrumental and often ends up in one of the 6 songs he will write the next day.
After that is off to sleep for this demi-God, and the whole thing starts anew the next morning... |

Holy crow, Dallas! I just aspirated my coffee reading this! That's just beautiful. I especially love that "sidewalk shitty sidewalk" is an option for the treadmill scenery. I think it would not be amiss to add a short scene wherein coke is snorted off of the treadmill belt in unending lines.

the 3'S were good
but I prefer to shave before shower
cause the shower will clean your wound if you cut yourself
while shaving.

'cept you're more likely to wound yourself if you shave pre-shower.
I'm surprised that Frank does so much coke. |

| i tried that for a stretch, Barto...i had one those little shower mirrors. Problem was, the little fucker would fog up within two seconds (even though it was supposedly a "no-fog" mirror...yeah right!) So I gave up on the whole idea. |

I have FB hair, people say I look like him more every day, careful attention has to be paid to the pruning or you just don't feel right!

dont start that floop. I'm just a guy who pops on this forum occasionally, PLEASE dont drag me into the drama that makes boards suck. I avoid it on purpose.
I am not the manservant, I'm still seeking a second source to confirm the manservants identity... |

ah, the Amerikan version of this is "he who smelt it dealt it" and the Shakespearian (sp?) version is of course "Methinks he doth protest too much."
Except floop doesn't seem to exist solely to incite flamewars...

The description of Franks' workout clothing seems like a page out of my Boss' wardrobe catalogue.
If this is a taste of Dallas' musings please post more! |
